I’ve been working on transitioning this site over to a static generator and I’ve also been working on a new site design. What I decided to do is sort of a cross between the two: my current site will be converted into a static version of what stands today, design and all. It’ll be an archive of what was essentially the “tips, tricks, and bookmarks on web development” that the site was for much of its existence. I’ve created that static ver....

Weird fact about me: I’m cross-dominant (also known as being mixed-handed). Instead of having a dominant hand I use everything with, my hands are… Awkward. There are some tasks which my left hand excels at, and some tasks which my right hand excels at. And I can’t know until I try it. Oh so you’re ambidextrous? This is the question I’m asked every time I bring it up, but no. Ambidextrous people have (mostly) equal ability with both ha....

Linux on PlayStation 5. The ps5-linux project enables the installation of a Linux distribution on the original PlayStation 5 (the physically larger model). The installation isn’t easy. On the other hand, since it isn’t persistent (you need to run the exploit on every reboot), there’s no risk of “bricking” the console. OpenClaw suffers from waves […]

It is really not that hard to bring your own voice and use AI to aid your writing. Have the LLM read your prior work, then give it a detailed outline, and then iterate. See my transcript on a prior post for an example. […]

Many of the initial wave of “AI writing detectors” were quite bad. The biggest issue you need to be concerned about with an AI writing detector is false positives. If you are a professor and want to check students’ writing, it is very bad to falsely accuse a student. The Pangram product, though, is quite […]

Your developers’ AI tools are only as good as what they know going in. When those tools run through the right IDE, it can give them a head start – a picture of the codebase the tools would otherwise need to piece together themselves. That means your team’s IDE choices belong on your AI agenda […]

When I pitch people on far-UVC they often ask about in-duct UV. How about putting UV inside your HVAC ducts, where you can safely blast the air with cheap toxic wavelengths. Unfortunately, it's rarely a good approach. The biggest issue is that most people don't have ducts. They're common in the US, though less so in older construction (radiators) or newer (mini-splits). Outside the US (and Canada, and Australia), however, ducted s....

Introduction In Part I , we discussed why Grab is investing in a data mesh, referred to as the Signals Marketplace within Grab, as part of our evolving data culture. We also explained how data certification aids teams in reliably reusing data across different domains. However, cultural change doesn’t occur through principles alone; it happens when tools reshape people’s daily behaviors. Therefore, it is crucial for us to develop effecti....

The past couple of weeks, I've been working with an ESP32 chip. I'm making experiments at this moment: my goal is to find out if these chips are good enough now. Many years ago I started with ESP8266 chips and they were clearly not: they were so resource-limited that they could not do TLS (and by extension, HTTPS). Any interesting use-case requires a server reachable over the internet, the lack of secure communication disqualified that chip....

So I just got through a pretty hectic week haha. Had to migrate the server for my blog and Forgejo, and also move away from Minio since it went publicly archived. Kinda frustrating but honestly saw it coming, they were already cutting features in the community edition and it just ended with them killing the open source version entirely. So yeah, had to find another option and landed on SeaweedFS. Also been adding some stuff to check off m....

OpenAI has rolled out two updates that on the surface seem like two separate things, but actually share a common thread. GPT-5.5 makes a big jump in terms of reasoning, coding and tool use, while GPT Image 2 focuses on image generation and editing. At first glance, it’s not the individual new features that stand […] The post GPT-5.5 and GPT Image 2: What Actually Changed appeared first on RisingStack Engineering .
